I've finally got my system to boot with few or no problems. Yes! Now, I need to get my internet connection up. I was able to get a direct connection for the initial install, but now I need to be able to get access through airport. I've checked a couple of past postings to figure out how to get things up and running, however, I can only get as far as getting the airport module to load at boot. I've configured airport in YDL before with no problems, but Gentoo seems to be a bit more complicated. Would anyone out there be willing to explain how to go about setting things up? Thanks.

Type :
#modprobe airport
to load the airport module
Then type
# dmesg|less
to check if it worked, and to check wich ethx is concerned. It should be eth1.
Then type
# dhcpcd eth1
(if airport is bound to eth1)
It should works. If your routeur/gateway is not a DHCP one, you will have to set your airport up with the ifconfig command.
